You will need an id on you everywhere to prove you’re not an illegal immigrant
Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’

My worry about this idea is that it would be a requirement for you to have the ID on you at all times. I hate the thought that you basically have to have your id on you wherever you go just in case the police stop you. I know realistically you’re likely to have your phone on you anyway but still.
If it’s also a requirement, would would the government have a scheme to help people buy a phone if they can’t afford one?

And a scheme to charge the phone, and a scheme to replace your phone if you drop it, and a scheme to criminalise you if you forget your phone at your mates or down the pub.
This scheme is an authoritarian over reach into day to day life.
